Harriet subconsciously wanted to step back when sensing his hostility. She timidly called out, "Xavier…"
Xavier felt so unfamiliar with the woman in front of him. How vicious she was behind the scene, while she was elegant on the stage!
She was as vicious as her mother.
All of a sudden, Xavier laughed. But his face darkened. The veins in his temples stood out. He looked at Harriet and talked on the phone, "Is that man dead?"
Jacob couldn't figure out what he meant immediately. After a while, he thought of something and said, "No, but he has suffered a lot."
"Take care of him and send him to her."
Jacob almost lost his footing. 'What did he mean? Send that man to Estella?'
If she had sex with him, she would probably get AIDS.
Jacob was not sure about it, so he asked.
"Her daughter finds someone to look after her. Isn't it good?" Xavier said this casually as if he was talking about what to eat tomorrow.
Harriet didn't understand what Xavier was saying. "Xavier, what are you talking about?"
Harriet and Estella had gone too far this time. Harriet wanted to avenge her brother and kill Arya to win Xavier's heart back. But Estella was not in good spirits. So she found someone to ruin Arya's life with a trick. Estella didn't stop her.
Xavier smiled with relief. "Harriet, you deserve this for what you have done."
Harriet was confused and did not understand the meaning of Xavier's words.
" Xavier…" Bridget wanted to speak for Harriet but stopped when seeing his warning gaze.
***
In the hospital.
Arya didn't wake up until night. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ryan. He had been waiting here for a long time. He wanted to be the first to see her wake up. However, he was not tall enough. So, he leaned on the bed with his feet on the chair.
She asked him if he was hurt. Ryan shook his head and said, "No."
"Mommy, are you hungry?"
Arya was stunned for a moment. She kept thinking of the word "Mommy" and couldn't help crying. She had waited for this for so long. Various feelings were mixed in her mind.
Because the injury was on her back, she was lying on her side. She faced Ryan and reached out to stroke Ryan's cheek. Ryan reached out his soft little hand, held Arya's hand, and called out again, "Mommy."
"Yes," Arya answered softly and called him with a sob. "Ryan."
This simple word contained all her feelings and love for Ryan. Tears blurred her vision. She blinked hard to see Ryan clearly.
"Mommy, don't cry." Ryan reached out his little hand to wipe Arya's tears. She nodded hard.
When Xavier came over, he saw Nanny Joy sitting outside, with her eyes slightly red. Nanny Joy couldn't help but be touched by such a scene, so she had gone out.
"Why aren't you taking care of her…" Before he could finish speaking, he heard the crying inside. Xavier leaned against the opposite wall and lit a cigarette. "When did she wake up?"
"Just now." Nanny Joy stood up and seemed to have thought of something. "She hasn't eaten yet."
Xavier put out the cigarette and said, "I'll feed her."
Nanny Joy was pleased. She told him there was a thermal lunch box on the table.
Xavier merely replied, "OK."
